Normal Description:
“After I noticed him first in Kickstarter, all I might suppose was, if it resembled Frogger that I performed in Atari within the day and/or Crossy Street, however I can take it to the desk, then it’s important for me! I can not wait to play this recreation!” – Lake Leapty of all board video games
Ok: It was an excellent recreation. It isn’t one thing that has excited a lot, however I don’t hate it.
TSO: I assumed it was very enjoyable and I do know some folks they want!
Guidelines and configuration:
Ok: The motion of the frog from the puddle to the sidewalk, was a bit complicated. It was a straightforward settings for a small recreation. I desire, I can not make different colours, if not, I might get pleasure from seeing others and a colour variable.
TSO: It was quite simple and transferring the items was very straightforward for me.
Lake: See the foundations up and down. Word: These are from the prototype and are topic to modifications.

TSO: The frogs had been very lovely. I really feel that everybody can get pleasure from it as a result of it’s a quite simple and small recreation.
Lake: As I stated earlier than, I used to be particularly excited and I had the sensation of Frogger and Crossy Street. Because of the lack of obstacles, it was not like a lot. However frog miniatures and the topic actually joined fairly torsion!
Sport:
Ok: You select the colour of your frogs; Take cube and encompass. Transfer stated frogs and tries to achieve the Lillypads. It was a straightforward recreation.
TSO: You play as frogs making an attempt to get to the opposite facet to get to the pond.
Lake: I actually preferred the mechanics of Take-That of the Squish, Squash and the “soar within the center”. Nevertheless, with the ability to work the “soar between” might quite take some video games. All crushing and crushing actually was price it, nevertheless, I ended up dropping each for Ok and Tso. In my recreation towards TSO, I rolled a ten my first shifts and he or she had a frog in that place twice, which meant that I couldn’t transfer and my frogs needed to stay within the poor state of stagnation extra time than I delivered to my complete disappearance.
Murals and elements:
Ok: You want extra colours. Including actual particulars and making it extra practical can be good. And if the board (possibly?) Might bend. (Plainly Michael has to take note of and within the ultimate manufacturing copy of the sport will likely be a quadruple fold board that can match a smaller guide dimension than the guide in rustic).
TSO: I believe extra colours can be nice, however aside from that, I can not consider anything.
Lake: I additionally preferred the miniatures and I beloved the board on which we play, however I can see the necessity for a change. However who wants house on the shelf when you’ve an unbelievable recreation, aren’t I mistaken?

The opposite:
Ok: IDK. I DON’T KNOW. I DON’T KNOW.
TSO: I do not suppose there’s something to complain!
Lake: My solely suggestion can be to permit greater than 2 gamers, who had additionally heard of my daughters. I believe there can be room to do it. I might see about using cents or one thing to attempt to defend myself with each subsequent time. (Hold me in your prayers 😂!)
Remaining ideas:
Ok: It was high-quality … not so enjoyable if there was a narrative on your frogs. However it was high-quality.
TSO: It was a variety of enjoyable that I actually loved it.
Lake: It isn’t the Atari recreation I anticipated, however it has positively received first place in my “video games performed in 2025”!
